I started playing Pokemon Black 2! \o\ I've only gotten my first badge so far (Cheren stopped wearing his glasses, omg), and my pokemon are all very weak. My starter is Oshawott. Was very tempted to pick Snivy again, but I already used Snivy in Black. I find all the connections with Black & White to be pretty cool. :D ( Read more... )

I have a Sykpe account to talk to my brother from time to time. Want to talk sometime on there? I have a Yahoo Instant Messenger that I'm on, AIM from time to time, and FB. LJ has been fairly quiet for me too. My lazy butt is finally getting to working on stories from Japan.

I KNOW! I totally wanted the physical game ;-; but it's cheaper for me to buy the bundle I think? and it's blue. Blue I tell you! What color of 3DS did you get?

… Hold on, I must go see the confession pics.
Daaaaaang…. I would want Chrom to confess to me too. /stares
PoT/FE is good on broship so I shall live vicariously through them. \o/
I'll still be a guy in the game I think. I shall have to survive without Chrom confessing to me =.=

Soren ftw!

It's kind of funny actually since PoT/FE's Wyvern Lord (Kain) eventually gets together with Ryuu (after the most complicated "just friends" miscommunication type relationship development)… and Ryuu means 'dragon' and Kain has an affinity towards dragons. ANYWAYS.

I'm glad that he worked out for you in the end even though it's sad he isn't a mage.

Also funny - my PoR/RD healer was Rhys. My Blazing Sword healer was Lucius/Canas late game (early game was Priscilla). My FE12 healer was Etzel until I got Merric. Man, it's been really rough to use vulnaries (I've never used so many in my life!). I never ever use pegasus knights - I like strengthy units. And guys

I don't like pre-promoted either (which is why Etzel and Astram and Jeorge didn't make the team… and I forgot about Caesar 'cause I had no room). Lol - paladins are my trade. In FE7 - Kent, Sain, Lowen, Marcus; PoR/RD - Oscar, Kieran, Geoffrey, (Boyd partnered Oscar)… I work in pairs and groups of four.
Reclassing is an option for sure - not one I use often because I like them as they are, but I'm sure if I was on a harder mode, I would use it more.

Man, I don't remember that conversation but that's hilarious! Nabarl is just so "Leave me alone to the shadows…" XDD

Yeah, I heard that hard was really hard and normal was really easy. Where is the in-between? I suppose I'm okay since it means that I can get other things done on top of school.

I would like that! ♥ I mostly use Skype for the same actually. To talk with my brother, haha. I'm not on it very often unless someone tells me to get on, oops. |D;; Hm, I only use AIM from the rest, but I haven't been on there in a long time. I'm trying to be a bit more social this year (my only new year resolution XD;; ) but so far I'm already not very sociable...

Yeah, buying the bundle should be a little cheaper. (Pretty 3DS to boot!) I got myself a blue 3DS XL during Black Friday. :) I guess it worked out, since this way I have a physical copy of FE:A so my brother can play it after me.

I knooow right? That pic of Chrom! I think my team for FE:A will probably be half female and half male for the sake of the marriage and kids system. (Though huh, my team for FE12 is pretty much half/half! So I think I'll be fine. XD;; )

I really wanted Ryuu to be a mage, but I guess it wasn't meant to be, haha. His stats are really spread out over all of the different stats. Kind of very average, so nothing particularly weak either. Now that he's higher leveled, things kind of evened out, so it's okay that his stats are so spread out. :3

I used Rhys too. :) Mages that get promoted also doubled up as healers near the end of each game. I believe for FE7 I used Serra, Erk, Canas, Lucius, Priscilla... basically nearly all of the magic users, haha. Oh, but not Nino, since she comes late (I did train her during one play through, but I usually don't). I remember the dodge for that game was quite something, so all of them were good dodgers. :3

Etzel looks cool! I love his monocle. But he's already such a high level. ): I don't think his stats will compare to Merric's by the time I get Merric to his level.

So, so many paladins! XD They don't do well in deserts though, right? XD; For this game, I decided to reclass for the desert level. That was interesting... Also, most of my stronger units are flying units, so I reclassed for the level with ballistas and the fog of war, otherwise I might have been in trouble. XD; I like the characters as their own class though, since it feels like part of their character.

It's one of the conversations at the base! I think it only triggers if you use Feena too. I hope they'll have more conversations in the future. XD Nabarl in pigtails... XDDDDD

Yeah, one time I did the opposite. I started on Normal, felt it was too easy, and decided to restart on Hard. Then it was too hard. XD; Normal is a good degree of difficulty at the moment, since I feel I'm more likely to finish the game now. :3

My Skype name is AbsoluteHYMN007. Let's add each other and catch up sometime? I'm on AIM like once every two weeks and YIM once a week. Still playing catch up with life.

I totally want a physical copy but I probably shouldn't pass this chance up. So pretty!

I'll have to see how the team pans out… so far, not many of them stick out to me as "Oooo he's handsome. MUST put him on my team" and I don't know what classes any of them are really so… should be interesting XD

You will totally be okay. You're just awesome like that.

Rhys is my favorite healer ever. I love that man. Yup - thank the gods too… I would have been a bit screwed on the mission with the dragons and wryms if Merric wasn't able to use staves by then. No one in FE12 dodges lol… I remember being so angry when I just wanted to land a hit in FE7 ><

Right, that's why Etzel's not on the team… :/ My Merric is already a bit ahead of him and he's three levels under him. Darn pre-promotion.

No, they suck at deserts. I was crying in PoR/RD whenever they had to do deserts. Hahaha yes! I reclassed David, Frey, Rody, Luke, and Cain to Dracoknights for that chapter and was like \o/ Then I switched them back except David and Frey so I could have a more "balanced" team. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that likes to keep them in their class.

I would use Feena if I had room seriously. Or if I had units that didn't move so darn fast through the map.

<3 I'm excited to finish. Didn't get to play today so I hope to play tomorrow.

Awesome! \o\ My usernames for both Skype and AIM are the same. (lucathia)

Haha, no one jumping out at you with their handsomeness? I really like how Gaius looks. I think he's a thief. :3 Libera also looks very beautiful (he might even give Lucius a run for his money XDDD). I hope I'll be able to use a lot of mages in Awakening unlike what happened for me in FE12, haha.

Rhys is awesome! :D Hahahaha, the dodging in FE12 is nearly nonexistent. Some of them are starting to dodge for me though, but still not very often. Oh man, being on the other side of the dodging thing is no fun. Ah, so that was why I stuck to iron weapons for so long in FE7... I was trying to remember why I used iron weapons for a good majority of that game. (While in this game, I didn't stick with iron weapons long)

Poor Etzel. ):

Oh, you reclassed them to flying units! I reclassed Ryuu back to mage again for that chapter. One last attempt at a mage's life, haha. Still didn't work very well for him. XD;;

PoR/RD deserts must have been a pain! I recall they were huge too...

I'm really amused that Feena can use swords. XD; (Apparently, dancers from way back were able to use swords?) Sadly, her strength right now is still very low and I haven't gotten her weapon rank up yet. Otherwise, I think she can even do okay as a fighter. :3 I kind of wish I gave her the boots so she could move farther! I don't think she'd be able to catch up with your units. XD;

Okay - added you on Skype and I'm DavidSnape007 on AIM.

*googles* Ooo... I like Gaius alright. /adds to list
Thanks for helping me find him! Now I'm really looking at art and I like Azur too!
And oh man, I might have my first Pegasus Knight ever... I'm thinking My Unit should hook up with Tiamo. /contemplates

I stuck to iron weapons too! In PoR/RD and FE12, I've been using steel (st. lance/poleax) or plain steel weapons the entire time. I am getting towards the end so I should contemplate using silver even though I never use them.

I'll give lots of love to Etzel, Cesare, Astram, and anyone else that doesn't make the final 12 <3

Awwww Ryuu ;-; Reclassing them to flying units meant that was the first time I liked a desert mission. \o/ All of the dracoknights.

They were and I insisted on using two of my paladins... at least Naesala was around haha to laugh at my stupidity.

My brother bought the original Shadow Dragon/New Mystery (the one with the old art... for the NES?) in Japan while we were on the trip so I'm curious to see how that is going XD I thought that was crazy too when I saw that she could use swords.

I gave Marth the boots since he must do EVERYTHING in a chapter. My fast units go off in their own group and every else moves along in the direction that Marth will go.
I'm ridiculous XD <3

Yay! \o\

*looks at Gaius again* Oh my god, he has a little kuma lollipop. So cute. XD Azur reminds me a little of Shiraishi at first glance. XD; Very cool! Oooo, Tiamo looks pretty awesome too. I like her color scheme.

Ah, so you also mostly stick to iron weapons. :3 I've been using steel weapons in FE12 too since the iron weapons let me down, haha.

Desert missions are a breeze for flying units. XD;

Hahaha, oh gosh. At least you had Naesala!

Ooooo, I wonder how the originals are like! He bought the old, old ones? The NES versions...? :O How are you even able to find them anymore? (I bought a virtual version for the Wii, but I haven't played it)

Yeah, I gave Marth the boots too for the same reason. But I regretted it afterward. XD Though giving him the boots did make things easier. Much easier for him to reach the people he needs to talk to, and to visit all the villages and raid treasure chests at the same time. Oh Marth. You super multi-tasker.

My tastes in characters is very... picky? I like the attractive, short-haired ones or the really BA and intelligent ones. Haha, I thought of Shiraishi too. It's totally the haiiiirrrrrr ;)
Tiamo isn't too much, if that makes any sense? Like she's pretty, but in a more mature, simple way.

FE12 has been mostly steel yes, but I rarely use silver because I feel like they cost too much to break and they don't have many uses and I run into the problem of carrying so much stuff on each character :/

The second time I played through RD, I made sure to not put paladins on the desert mission team in Part 4. XD It's unavoidable I think in PoR. I'm too stubborn.
I had Naesala and Haar and Sothe and Micaiah (but I didn't use her) that could handle the desert. I kept the Greil Mercenaries together. Maaan, I don't remember much about what I did, but I know I tried to put 3-5 of my final party in each team so that they could get experience.

... Marth has to do ALL OF THE THINGS. Crazy Marth. :P

The Book-Off stores in Japan sell used games and he managed to find it during our Tokyo trip XDDD He was looking for the GBA ones, but he does have the NES.
Yeah, I believe it was the one that Shadow Dragon/New Mystery are from, but I'll have to double-check.
